NAPIER.

Our pop-up cafè in Napier on the weekend was, once again, a resounding success. A full house of 30 people enjoyed a cosy lunch in a warm & inviting space, and we couldn't be happier! Huge gratitude to our followers & supporters! Here are some pics from last weekend.

The next pop up is over 2 days. Saturday 12th September, for tapas & light meals in the evening, and then Sunday lunch on the 13th.

Book! 076 6281201.

Hello friends!
So as you will see, our August Pop-Up in Napier is fully booked - and in fact, it's been full since early in July. But this is not a brag post: the reason we're posting this is to say, please book as early as possible to avoid disappointment! We can only seat 32, and it books up really fast! We have a whatsapp group for those wanting the forthcoming pop-up date & menu before it's published on social media. Whatsapp us on 076 6281201 to be added to that group.
And a heads-up, the next pop-up is on SUNDAY 13th of SEPTEMBER.

Good morning friends! 🙂
Thanks so much to everyone who attended our July pop-up.
August's pop-up is 50% full already, so please book soonest.
*Save the date & book for SUNDAY 09 AUGUST, which is of course Women's Day.* August is also Shiraz month, so expect some fine pairings!!

We can accommodate 24 diners in the Studio, but we can also open our adjoining Dining Room for a table of 8. If you select this option, note that we may ask for a deposit and an indication of what you'll be eating.🙏

Otherwise, book away in the Studio!💃🏻

We will publish the August menu next weekend, but rest assured there is something to satisfy every palate.
In July, the Prawn Curry ruled with 16 out of 24 diners selecting the seafood option. We won't let you down in August either!

Looking forward to 09 August. 076 6281201 for reservations - note that The Fragrant Food Cafe pop-up is by reservation only.
Thanks again
Neal, Dee & Mien
